Why don't narcissists change—even when their behavior is hurting the people closest to them? In this episode of Help! I Have a Narcissist in My Life, Laurel Slade-Waggoner explains the narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) symptom loop and how narcissistic behaviors can reinforce one another in a destructive cycle. You'll learn how a narcissist's belief in their own specialness can feed entitlement, lack of empathy, manipulation, exploitation, grandiosity, and the need for excessive admiration—and how those patterns can ultimately reinforce the beliefs that started the cycle. If you've spent years hoping the narcissist in your life will finally listen, understand how much they're hurting you, accept correction, or change their behavior, this episode will help you better understand the pattern you may be dealing with.
In this episode, I'm answering a question I get asked constantly: are they trauma bonded to me too? People ask this when the person who hurt them starts falling apart after a breakup or after being told no. The panic, the pleading, the sudden self-awareness. It can look like proof that the relationship was mutual, that maybe both people were caught in the same storm.I will work through what is happening and how it looks the same as attachment, dependency, or the panic that comes from losing access to someone who regulates you. I'll get into what abusive people are actually bonded to, why their distress doesn't cancel out what they did, and why the question isn't whether they're hurting. It's what they do with that hurt.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services. If you do not want to listen, just fast-forward 5 mins past.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the constant sense that something is wrong with you was never about you at all, but about the family system you had to bend yourself around to survive?In this episode, we unpack what it means to be the adult child of a mother with NPD or BPD, starting with what the DSM actually says about each disorder and why narcissistic traits are not the same as a clinical diagnosis. We talk about how the entire family contorts around the illness, how collusion and gaslighting leave you feeling like the black sheep, and how growing up without room to develop a self can lead to identity crises decades later. We also cover where to find support if you recognize yourself in any of this.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #539 | How Shame Prevents the Cycle of Motivation - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/539-how-shame-prevents-the-cycle-of-motivation/id1511831621?i=1000789504920Learn more about:
Most pet brands sell function. Denzel's Dog Treats built its challenger brand around something very different: Happiness!! In this conversation, I speak with founders James and Nathan about how they spotted an emotional gap in the pet category and used brand strategy, packaging, product format and occasion-based innovation to turn dog treats into something much bigger than a functional purchase.And the commercial results are what make this such an interesting story for founders scaling consumer brands. A Valentine's activation delivered around 15–17x the rate of sale of a normal promotion, with more than 60% of shoppers buying it having not previously bought from pet. Their advent calendar has become their bestselling SKU despite only being available for part of the year. We get into how seasonal innovation moved from “marketing stunt” to revenue channel, why they designed for grocery, hospitality and online from day one, and how becoming obsessive about the brand experience helped Denzel's create genuinely incremental growth.Use code BGH25 for 25% off Denzel's NEW Advent Calendars from https://www.denzels.co.uk/products/advent-calendarDetails below **Redeemable from https://www.denzels.co.uk/products/advent-calendar only25% off Advent CalendarApplies to one-time purchasesNo minimum purchase requirementOne use per customerCan't combine with other discountsEarly bird discount, active from 15 Sept to 22 Sept (23:59)What You'll LearnHow James and Nathan identified an emotional white space in a category dominated by functional positioning.Why Denzel's spent roughly 30–50% of its initial £25,000 startup loan on brand, design and packaging.How Valentine's treats generated around 15–17x normal promotional rate of sale and attracted shoppers who had never previously bought from pet.Why seasonal NPD has evolved into an acquisition funnel that can ultimately drive shoppers into the core Denzel's range.How to design products and formats around new channels and occasions rather than simply competing for space within your existing category.Key Topics DiscussedBuilding a pet brand around the “happiness exchange” between dogs and their ownersBorrowing inspiration from consumer brands such as BEAR rather than the existing pet categoryUsing Denzel himself as the central brand characterStarting the business with a £25,000 loanInvesting disproportionately in packaging and brand from day oneDesigning dog treats to work in grocery, cafés, pubs and onlineCreating selection boxes, Valentine's treats, Easter products, birthday products and advent calendarsBringing a Tesco Valentine's idea from conversation to delivery in only a few monthsDriving incremental category shoppers rather than simply stealing shareSelling more than 30,000 advent calendars through Denzel's own website during an early launchBecoming a bestseller on Amazon at ChristmasBuilding specific hospitality products including peanut butter brownie, banana bread and pistachio cheesecake treatsOutselling a chocolate Florentine in Caffè NeroThe operational pain behind seasonal forecasting and manufacturingTurning seasonal innovation into a repeatable retail growth modelBuilding the UK blueprint before selectively expanding into EuropeWhy packaging has to do more of the selling in crowded grocery categoriesTargeting what Denzel's calls “Gen Zennial pet parents”Useful links https://www.instagram.com/thedenzelstory/?hl=enhttps://www.denzels.co.uk/collections/shop-our-treats?srsltid=AfmBOorqeOYT4jb5u60GQa-AtYmjaba8MHZRynjaGkfn1vmkOy_DcN5ACommunity and review requestDid you get a nugget of value from this chat?

Winfried Kretschmann (Grüne), früherer Ministerpräsident von Baden-Württemberg, erwartet von einer AfD-geführten Regierung in Magdeburg keinen schnellen Umbau – Föderalismus und Grundgesetz bremsen. „Also man muss sich jetzt im Moment keine Sorgen machen, dass jetzt nur weil die eventuell an die Regierung kommen, irgendwie der Faschismus ausbricht.“ Ein Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD hält er für prüfenswert – als Bundesratspräsident scheiterte er einst mit dem Antrag gegen die NPD. [01:56]Die stellvertretende CDU-Generalsekretärin Christina Stumpp hat den Rücktritt verweigert, den Friedrich Merz von ihr verlangt hatte – sie sei vom Parteitag gewählt. Inzwischen gibt sie den Posten doch auf, nachfolgen soll der Erfurter Bundestagsabgeordnete Michael Hose. Ein Parteichef, dem die eigene Stellvertreterin offen widerspricht – Merz ist auch in der Parteizentrale geschwächt. [15:40]Sabine Herold, Geschäftsführerin des Klebstoffherstellers Delo in Windach, will die Erbschaftsteuer abschaffen und stattdessen die Erträge aus dem Erbe besteuern. Wer einen Betrieb erbe, erbe Gebäude und Maschinen, kein Geld: „Ich kann ja auch keine Backsteine zum Finanzamt schieben.“ Im Oktober verhandelt das Bundesverfassungsgericht über die Privilegien für Betriebsvermögen – deshalb hat Herold ihren Vorschlag an Politiker verschickt. [17:39]Singapur hat seine Regenwälder abgeholzt und seine Gewässer verschmutzt, viele Tierarten verschwanden. Seit Ende der sechziger Jahre steuert der Stadtstaat mit Umweltschutz gegen – jetzt filmen Spaziergänger dort den Weichfellotter, eine gefährdete Art.

Sponsored recommendation:Growing in Love for Life This episode is a reframe. If you have already learned what a trauma bond is and how it forms, this is not that episode. This is about the specific pain of healing from one, and why that pain is so often misread as grief when it is actually withdrawal.I walk through the difference between grieving something real and healthy versus craving a chemical response your nervous system was conditioned to need. If you are in the stage where you know something is wrong but cannot make yourself leave, this episode is for you.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Most food manufacturers are running their product development on spreadsheets. Nutritional values in one file, allergen data in another, recipes in a shared drive, submission forms being manually rekeyed the night before a customer deadline. But the pace of change facing food manufacturers right now is unlike anything in recent memory. HFSS reformulations, UPF scrutiny, carbon labelling, gut health claims, retailer-specific submission formats that change without warning, and behind every single one of those challenges, a development process that in most businesses still runs on fragile, disconnected data. In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our event at London's Olympia, the case is made that a significant portion of the pressure that technical and NPD teams are feeling isn't coming from the market or from regulation, but from out-dated background systems.Could it be that in a decade where AI will increasingly depend on the quality of the data underneath it, the manufacturers who treat product data as a strategic asset rather than an administrative byproduct will be the ones who pull ahead?If this has whet your appetite for next year's Food Matters Live events - you can already register your interest to partner with us in London and Rotterdam.

Let's meditate. This is not a meditation about NPD. It is a practice about the ordinary, everyday ways that all of us protect our vulnerable places with something hard. So, let's get curious about the armor.
What do you do when you finally have language for your in-law's emotional immaturity (or dare I say narcissistic behaviors) — and your spouse, the one who grew up with it, doesn't see it yet. Do you tell them? Do you go directly to your in-law? In his first live Q&A in a year, Tony takes on one of the most painful positions a partner can be in: watching your spouse work so hard to please a parent who rarely lets them feel enough, while any observation you offer lands like an attack. Tony explains why that reaction makes sense — recognizing a parent's narcissistic traits means asking someone to re-examine decades of memories they had filed under love — and why the instinct to hand them the word "narcissist" tends to close the door rather than open it. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Recognize why your spouse may defend a parent's behavior they privately struggle with — the need to belong to our family of origin runs deep, and it's less denial than protection. Distinguish narcissistic traits from NPD, and why emotional immaturity is often the more accurate and more workable place to start. Name the gaslighting pattern of "that isn't what happened" and understand what it does to your sense of reality over time. Learn why the most caring move is often patience with your spouse's timeline rather than presenting the evidence. Hear a listener share how the Death by a Thousand Cuts series gave her the courage to finally leave — with the 12th installment on its way.

Welcome back to In Sanity: A Piece of Mind. Last episode, I talked about the gap between who someone is and who they need to believe they are, and how narcissism is really a wall built around that gap, not an excess of self-love. In this episode, we will start there. Today I'm going deeper into what the actual clinical picture of NPD looks like, what the research says about shame specifically inside that diagnosis, where it actually comes from developmentally, and how you protect yourself from narcissistic behavior without needing to dehumanize the person behind it. My hope is you leave this episode able to hold empathy and a boundary at the same time.**This podcast does not address physical abuse in any way. If you are in a relationship where there is abuse, please seek professional help**
Consumers say they want natural. But do they want it enough to accept a less vibrant colour, a shorter shelf life, or a higher price? And when regulation forces the change anyway, how do you bring consumers with you when they weren't asking for it in the first place?Clean label means something very different to a Michelin-trained chef building a fermented meat alternative from scratch, to a bakery NPD manager reformulating existing lines away from artificial colours, to a global consumer science director at one of the world's largest confectionery companies navigating the cocoa crisis. What all three have in common is the same uncomfortable truth: natural is harder, less stable, more expensive and less forgiving than artificial - and the consumer rarely gives you credit for it unless you tell them.In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our London Olympia event, our expert panel dives into the world of clean label, from the practical realities of moving from artificial to natural colours, allergen considerations, shelf life constraints, and why consumers may accept a dimmer colour once you explain the reason.If this has whet your appetite for next year's Food Matters Live events - you can already register your interest to partner with us in London and Rotterdam.

NPD,大概是过去几年互联网上最流行的心理学词汇之一。我们用它形容控制欲极强的老板、令人窒息的父母、不断贬低自己的伴侣,甚至一个让自己受过伤的朋友。但当所有糟糕的人都开始被叫作“NPD”,我们反而想认真问一句:真正的NPD到底是什么?一个人自恋、自私、ego很大、喜欢把别人当工具,就意味着他是NPD吗?这一期,我们请乔乔从心理学的专业视角,和我们一起重新理解这个已经被互联网用得有些泛滥的词。我们聊人格特质和人格障碍的区别,也聊一个很有意思的问题:为什么有些具有强烈自恋特质的人,在外部世界里反而可能显得非常成功?他们自信、耀眼、有野心、有巨大的power,甚至有一种让人忍不住想靠近的生命力。但一个人在公共世界里的成功,和他在亲密关系里如何对待别人,可能完全是两件事。于是这期节目慢慢从“NPD是什么”,走到了我们真正感兴趣的地方:关系。为什么我们会被这样的人吸引?为什么一段关系最开始可能极其美好,对方让你觉得自己如此特别、如此被理解,后来却逐渐变成贬低、控制和自我怀疑?为什么明明已经觉得不舒服,我们还是会反复解释对方、证明自己,甚至期待有一天,他终于会重新看见我们的好?有时候,我们迷恋的也许不只是那个人,而是他身上那个我们自己还没有活出来的部分。聊到最后,我们发现“NPD”这个词真正有价值的地方,也许并不是帮助我们给别人下诊断。心理学词汇进入大众世界当然有被滥用的危险,但它也可能帮助一个人第一次为过去那些模糊、混乱、无法言说的感受找到名字。比起反复追问“他到底是不是NPD”,也许更重要的问题是:这段关系让我快乐吗?我在其中被尊重吗?我是不是越来越不像自己?如果答案已经足够清楚,也许我们不必等到拿到一张关于另一个人的“诊断书”,才允许自己离开。Coco在最后说:“爱时义无反顾,走时绝不回头。” 老柴说:“天地辽阔,你这游戏我不玩了。” 我们花了一百分钟讨论别人是什么样的人,最后真正想拿回来的,其实是自己判断一段关系值不值得继续的权力。时间轴00:01:13 为什么今天人人都在说NPD?一个心理学诊断,怎么变成了互联网流行词?00:05:53 我们嘴里的“NPD”到底是什么?自恋、自私、ego很大、把人工具化,是一回事吗?00:09:58 从网络热词回到心理学:真正的NPD如何定义?人格特质和人格障碍之间隔着多远?00:18:00 为什么我们越来越喜欢给别人贴上“NPD”的标签?一个词如何帮助我们重新解释过去的关系?00:27:00 老板把员工“工具化”,就是NPD吗?权力、效率和人格问题应该怎么区分?00:29:00 NPD有哪些典型特征?夸大、特权感、需要赞美、利用他人、缺乏共情……00:35:00 为什么有些NPD特质很强的人,看起来反而很成功?耀眼、强大、有power的人为什么让人着迷?00:40:00 成功真的需要一点“NPD”吗?野心、强势、自我确信和病理性自恋之间有什么区别?00:48:00 从职场回到私人关系:为什么越亲近的人,受到的伤害反而越隐秘?00:57:45 我们自己经历过这样的关系吗?友情、家庭、工作里那些曾经很难解释的感受。01:05:00 为什么你会慢慢开始怀疑自己?当一个重要的人不断改变评价你的标准。01:14:00 为什么我们会被这样的人吸引?也许我们爱上的,是那个自己还没有活出来的自己。01:24:20 NPD是天生的吗?会改变吗?一个人可能只在某一种关系里呈现NPD吗?01:31:48 为什么这样的关系一开始往往特别美好?从强烈的理想化,到控制、贬低与自我怀疑。01:36:00 如果怀疑自己遇到了NPD,应该怎么办?你需要先证明“他有病”,才能离开吗?01:39:00 爱时义无反顾,走时绝不回头:天地辽阔,有些游戏可以选择不玩了。也欢迎你留下关于本期的想法。
Narcissism, narcissistic abuse, and NPD get thrown around constantly online, and most of what circulates is wrong. In this episode, licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton walks through what narcissistic personality disorder actually is (all nine DSM criteria, and why five or more are required for a diagnosis), the difference between covert and overt narcissism, and the specific behavior patterns that make a relationship abusive: love bombing, gaslighting, trauma bonding, DARVO, flying monkeys, isolation, and intermittent reinforcement. She also covers the gray rock method, the signs you're walking on eggshells in your own home, and how healing from narcissistic abuse actually works. If you've been wondering whether what you experienced counts, or whether the person in your life is a narcissist or simply selfish and hurtful, this one is for you.

In this episode, I return to the angry daughter — but this time, I look at what happens when she tries to love someone. The survival skills that kept her intact in her family of origin are the same ones that quietly work against her in relationships. She over-functions. She holds everything together. She mistakes someone's performed pain for depth, and she chases validation in ways she can't always see while it's happening. This episode is personal, and I'm not writing from some resolved place on the other side. I'm writing from inside it — still learning that I'm allowed to want things, still figuring out what it looks like to stop disappearing so love can fit.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

嘉宾 | 宫学萍,心理咨询师主播 | 驳静,《三联生活周刊》主笔“我身边有个NPD”——这句话,如今成了许多人解释一段痛苦关系的万能钥匙。有观点认为,这是对于专业概念的滥用;但换个角度思考,当一个社会开始频繁借用心理学词汇来描述痛苦,恰恰说明人们对“伤害”的感知正在变得敏锐。我们不再习惯用“他就是脾气不好”或“忍忍就过去了”来消解自己的不适,而是试图为那种说不清的委屈、被贬低感和长期的自我怀疑,找到一个名字。本期节目,我们与心理咨询师宫学萍一起,聊聊正在被泛化的NPD,以及在这个名词背后,那些正在经历痛苦挣扎的人们,在如何重新找回生活的主动权。【时间轴】02:04 为什么我们要用一个英文词,讲述自己的不舒服?06:04 生活中的NPD,一般都什么样?16:31 怎样的人更容易被NPD所吸引?20:42 NPD、PUA成为热词,是因为我们对生活中的伤痛变得更敏感了吗?26:11 被痛苦的关系吸引,就像期待荆棘上长出花朵38:04 父母是NPD,孩子一定也是吗?49:06 男性真的更容易成为NPD吗?52:12 期待NPD的爱,是一场缘木求鱼?69:15 拥有更好的自己,决定权在我们手里73:27 NPD是极度自恋还是极度自卑?编辑/一丁剪辑/译丹————“Talk三联”是《三联生活周刊》出品的一档软硬皆有的泛文化类音频栏目,用声音记录报道背后的故事,提供丰富的新知与思辨的可能。在以下渠道均可收听我们的节目:三联中读APP |小宇宙|喜马拉雅|苹果播客|网易云音乐【我们还有这些播客】苗师傅·天真与经验|中场时间|我有一个朋友·董晨宇|多一种生活|岁时茶山记|你好,陌生人HelloStranger|孩子,你的情绪我们在乎|“三联·大案追踪”有声剧如果你喜欢我们的节目,欢迎点赞支持,或者把我们的节目推荐给更多的朋友~ 【关注我们】App:三联中读微信公众号:三联中读微博:@三联中读小红书:三联中读官网:https://www.lifeweek.com.cn/ 【商务合作】zhongdu@lifeweek.com.cn

Narcissism is usually imagined as arrogance, dominance, and the loudest person in the room, but it is not always that obvious. In this episode, Vanessa explores narcissism as a problem of selfhood: what happens when a person does not have a stable enough inner sense of Self to stay emotionally coherent without constant reflection from the outside. Through Kohut, Kernberg, the myth of Narcissus, vulnerable and grandiose narcissism, the false self, parental overvaluation, and the difference between traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we look at why these dynamics can feel so confusing inside real relationships. The question is not only whether someone can be charming, wounded, or empathic when things are easy, but whether they can stay curious about your reality when it no longer mirrors back the version of themselves they need to see.For educational purposes only.

In this episode, I'm talking about why self-blame becomes almost automatic when you've been in an emotionally abusive or coercively controlling relationship, and why it feels like relief even when it's actually costing you.I get into the nervous system science behind it, specifically how fawning works, how your brain gets wired to connect calm with compliance, and why that wiring doesn't just disappear when the relationship ends. If you have ever cried the whole drive home because you didn't apologize, this one is for you. I also walk through some concrete ways to start interrupting the pattern, because healing from this is not about flipping a switch. It is about catching yourself in small moments, again and again, until a different kind of calm starts to feel possible.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

「有些道歉是假的,說了比沒說更不舒服。但對於某些人來說,真實的道歉是等不到的,因為連他自己的生命裡,都戴著虛假的面具。」 這集我們聊聊最近社群上討論度最高的關係黑洞:NPD(自戀型人格疾患)的「控制性道歉」。 我們常以為對方痛哭流涕是終於看見了我們的委屈,但心理學大師薩提爾與 DARVO 策略卻揭開了一個無情又震撼的真相:這群人流下的眼淚不是因為心疼你, 而是為了保護自己快要碎成粉末的「小可憐」內心,並試圖把聚光燈硬生生搶回自己身上。 碎成粉末的完美盔甲: 自信與 NPD 只有一線之隔?看清用「極度自戀」包裹「極度自卑」的雙面人真相。 控制性道歉的隱形牽繩: 他流淚不是因為心疼你,而是害怕失去可以操控的玩具。 全方位甩鍋的 DARVO 策略: 明明受傷的是你,為什麼最後他變成了受害者?拆解惡人先告狀的人格抹殺。 慢性中毒的煤氣燈效應: 聽久了連自己都懷疑是自己脾氣太壞?看透這場「將你妖魔化」的心理操縱術。 關掉聚光燈的責任界線: 真正懂你的人不需要你澄清。
Die AfD hat für Sachsen-Anhalt ein Zehn-Punkte-Sofortprogramm für die ersten 100 Tage vorgelegt: mehr Abschiebehaftplätze, Arbeitspflicht für Asylbewerber, Kündigung des Rundfunkstaatsvertrags, Deutschlandflaggen statt Regenbogenflaggen an Schulen. Einige Punkte liegen außerhalb der Landeskompetenz, andere zielen auf die Vereinnahmung des Patriotismus. Gewählt wird am 6. September. [05:28]Bijan Moini, Legal Director der Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte, legt ein 1.500-Seiten-Gutachten vor und kommt zu dem Schluss: Die AfD ist verfassungswidrig. „Eine wesentliche Erkenntnis unseres Gutachtens war, dass die AfD in ihrem politischen Konzept, also das, was sie tatsächlich umsetzen will, der NPD sehr nahe kommt", sagt Moini. [09:55]Stefan Evers, Finanzsenator im Kabinett von Kai Wegner, übernimmt die Spitzenkandidatur der CDU Berlin. Er gilt als einer, der lieber im Maschinenraum arbeitet als auf dem Sonnendeck. Aber jetzt muss er die Stimmung drehen: Die CDU liegt in den Umfragen nur auf Platz vier, hinter Linken, Grünen und AfD.

"A useful question to ask yourself is: how do I consistently feel after spending time with this person? That is so huge — all of your intel is right there." — Kristen Olson In this raw, unplanned episode of Turmeric & Tequila™, host Kristen Olson pulls back the curtain on something she rarely discusses publicly: her own dating life. After receiving unexpected news about a past situationship, Kristen shares an honest, in-real-time story about falling hard for someone despite early red flags — and what she learned about attachment styles, self-worth, and narcissistic relationship patterns along the way. At 45, successful in business and athletics, Kristen admits relationships have always been her growth edge. She walks listeners through the instant-connection "fireworks" that pulled her in, the inconsistencies and broken promises she chose to overlook, and the moment she discovered the situation was far messier than she realized. Rather than naming names or seeking revenge, she reframes the experience as a lesson in awareness, boundaries, and grace. The back half of the episode turns into a practical mini-guide: what narcissism actually is (versus normal narcissistic *traits*), the difference between narcissistic behavior and clinical NPD, common signs you may be dating someone with strong narcissistic traits (love bombing, gaslighting, entitlement, lack of empathy, idealize-then-devalue cycles), and healthy steps to take if you recognize the pattern — trusting behavior over promises, setting boundaries, documenting your experience, and leaning on your support system. This episode is for anyone who's ever asked themselves, "How did a smart, grounded person like me end up here?" Kristen's answer: you're not alone, give yourself grace, and let the lesson make you wiser — not smaller. The Deets: - Why an instant, "fireworks" connection isn't always a green light - Ignoring red flags because "you just care" - Anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and why relationships reveal parts of you therapy alone can't - A breakdown of narcissistic traits vs. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) - Signs you might be in a relationship with narcissistic patterns - Practical, healthy steps if you recognize these patterns in your own relationship - Why shady behavior in relationships impacts far more people than just the couple involved Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro to Turmeric & Tequila 00:30– Kristen sets up today's unplanned, real-time episode 01:20 – Sponsor shoutout: Colorado Clownfish Swim School & Plantiva 01:50 – Why she's sharing this story: awareness, not revenge 03:05 – The story begins: instant connection, early red flags 05:15 – Internal conflict — staying despite inconsistencies 06:30 – Deep dive into attachment theory and dating a narcissist 08:00 – Red flags mount: flirting, hidden phones, broken plans 09:30 – A transparent (and vulnerable) conversation about intimacy 11:15 – Walking away — and how it circled back again 12:45 – The discovery: finding out the full truth 14:30 – Why cheating and dishonesty are non-negotiable values 16:20 – Cost-benefit of staying: impact on friendships and mental space 17:45 – Unpacking attachment — nervous systems, familiarity, and childhood patterns 20:00 – What is a narcissist?

Father's Day is right around the corner, and on this month's Ask Rick, Rob Kibbe welcomes National Parts Depot CEO Rick Schmidt for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from car show planning to collector car buying strategy. Drawing from more than twenty years of experience producing NPD's legendary Silver Springs Ford and GM shows, Rick shares what makes a great event, why most car shows overcomplicate things, and how creating an experience for the entire family is often more important than the cars themselves. The discussion also dives into the evolving world of reproduction bodies and restoration parts. Rick offers an insider's perspective on the quality improvements seen in replacement Camaro and Firebird bodies, the challenges of manufacturing and licensing, and why some projects help preserve the hobby while others raise serious questions. If you've ever wondered what goes into bringing reproduction sheet metal and complete bodies to market, this segment is packed with fascinating insight. Of course, no Ask Rick episode would be complete without auction picks. This month Rick evaluates six vehicles ranging from a 1968 El Camino SS 396, 1969 Mercury Cougar Convertible, and 1962 Chrysler 300, to a modern Shelby GT350R Heritage Edition, a stunning 1950 Oldsmobile 88 Convertible, and a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. Along the way he reveals which cars he'd happily cruise all summer, which ones he'd avoid entirely, and why some of the hobby's most interesting opportunities aren't always the most obvious choices.

In this YouTube interview, Vance from the Female Covert Narc channel joins Narccon to discuss the traits and behaviors of the female covert narcissist, often referred to as the “Black Widow.” The conversation explores how female covert narcissists use subtle manipulation, emotional control, victim playing, and psychological tactics to dominate relationships while maintaining a hidden public image.Vance's Channel - @FemaleCovertNarc (Fantastic series of interviews with a diverse range of experts providing education and advice on NPD focusing in particular on the female narcissist).Channel link: https://youtube.com/@FemaleCovertNarc?si=VXAjaoYsMxNpjGx1#LetThemGo is a video series aimed at helping men identify, exit, and recover from relationships with women diagnosed with or suspected of having female covert narcissism.https://youtu.be/_lAqUANFigIMen, does your female partner gaslight, blame shift, constantly move the boundaries in your relationship, roll her eyes at you, lie, interrupt you, talk over you, explode in response to the slightest hint of anything critical or even the simplest mistake, and always play the victim while portraying you as the perpetual villain, regardless if she is at fault? If so, you may be in a relationship with a female covert narcissist. The only thing more difficult than being with a narcissist is trying to coparent with one. Just when you think it's all over after the divorce or ending of the relationship, there is no need for a narcissistic mother to wear the mask, and her behavior can become absolutely awful, often involving manipulation of the children and weaponizing them against you.#femalecovertnarcissist #narcissist #letthemgo• Website & Coaching Enquiries: https:// www.weaponizedlove.com/Coaching & Speaking Engagements:narcscon@gmail.com* Read the Book: Weaponised Love -https://Im.fm/*Listen to my audiobook:Weaponized Love: Understanding How Narcissists Think Is Key to Protect, Heal and Thriveyou can listen to the full audiobook here:https://www.audible.com/pd/Weaponized-Love-Audiobook/B0GFG8TQTQ• Support the Channel: Donate via PayPal - https:// www.paypal.com/paypalme/narcscon?country.x=.Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

Dr. Mark Ettensohn explains why narcissistic personality disorder is often misunderstood online—and how complex trauma, shame, attachment wounds, and identity shape pathological narcissism. Narcissism has become a buzz word on social media. It has moved from a psychological understanding to a term that is used for blaming, scapegoating, and other emotionally charged narratives. This polarization has led to casting someone with narcissist traits as a villain who is intentionally cruel, manipulative, and beyond help. While those with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) can exhibit difficult or even harmful traits, social media has erased the distinction between mental illness and moral defect. One clinician cautions that this "narcisso-sphere" content contributes to the despair of an already vulnerable population and even suicidality among those who identify with the diagnosis. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emilly Ruth welcomes Mark Ettensohn, Psy, D. Mark is the founder of Heal NPD, a clinical and educational platform focused on the understanding and treatment of narcissistic personality disorder. His work explores the developmental and relational roots of narcissism, including trauma, dissociation, and identity. Mark is also the author of Unmasking Narcissism: A Guide to Understanding the Narcissist in Your Life and shares widely followed educational content through his Heal NPD YouTube Channel. Transforming Trauma thanks Mark for sharing his expertise with our community. His empathetic approach to NPD invites curiosity over confrontation and genuine relational support over social media simplification.

What happens when a narcissist is finally alone? As a diagnosed narcissist, I'm getting raw about how my own mind attacks me the second the "audience" leaves. Today, we're discussing why narcissists have a negative default setting, why silence feels like a death sentence, and how we use external validation (supply) as a shield against intense self-hatred. If you've ever wondered why your toxic partner couldn't be alone or why they constantly needed to be the center of attention, this is the internal reality they are running from.

Female narcissists are often much harder to spot than men because they hide behind social norms like motherhood, caretaking, and "feminine vulnerability." Today, I'm reacting to the MSN article "15 Traits That Reveal Narcissistic Behavior in Women" and providing a diagnosed narcissist's perspective on how these traits manifest in real life. We are breaking down the "Social Camouflage" of NPD—from weaponized tears and the martyr complex to competitive parenting and the "Trophy Child" syndrome. If you feel like you're being manipulated by someone who seems "perfect" to the outside world, this deep dive is for you.
